Question 7948

Can navigation systems or GPS devices help the driver?

  1. No, because the information they provide is not relevant.
  2. Only on urban roads, because they provide the route with less traffic.
  3. Yes, but they can also be a cause of distraction.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, but they can also be a cause of distraction.

Yes. A navigation device helps you find your way, guides you along your route, and can warn you about traffic jams or roadwork, both in the city and on roads outside it. But looking at it and especially operating it while moving distract you. In the image, the driver is touching the screen while driving, which is prohibited.
